And the only thing even worse than SCRUM is literally every other option
And I think this video is talking about scrum implemented poorly. But admittedly that's the only way I've seen it done đ
I'm able to get the good parts of scrum without all the overhead with kanban. Sprints are worthless, work doesn't align on a 2 week cadence anyway.
Sprints aren't for you, it's for the higher ups to have a digestible view of what's going on in the team by presenting work done over 2-3 weeks, calibrating budgets, etc.
As a dev, yeah, sprints feel restrictive and artificial as fuck lol
If you still do the sizing (itâs not entirely wasted as itâs a reasonably effective tool to gauge understanding across the team), This can still be done without the artificial time boxing.
âHow much work have we done in the last two weeks?â Just look at all the stories closed in the last two weeks. Easy.
âWhen will X be delivered?â Look at X and all its dependencies, add up all the points, and guesstimate the time equivalence.
Kanban isnât a free for all, you still need structure and some planning. But you take most of that away from the do-ers and let them do what they do best⌠do.
I prefer V-cycle for when you have a software with known specs & Kanban for when you don't really know what the client needs/wants. I mean those magic clients you hear about but never sees...
I'm glad my company speaks a different language than English, and can't use all the word soup completely. That said, my company is also wondering why my timesheets never add up to the entire day because always in meetings, scrum, or "can we jump on video chat for a sec because it's easier to explain vocally than in writing"... And that "sec" turns into a 30 minute tutorial I have to give.
We translated the agile word soup to French here :(
Ouch... My company speaks French as well. :( I get to hear the buzzwords in English.
My condolences, friend.
A bottle off rum for the morning standup?
Take a shot anytime the non technical scrum master/product owner wants to âhelpâ by trying to get someone else involved the moment you mention any kind of detail/problem/thing youâre working on
Itâs funny how accountability is just ignored so that certain folks get to feel good.
Having worked in tech companies for decades, Iâve never once felt comfy with letting computer science majors just take the wheel⌠but Iâm sure someone think this hits âhardâ.

Sorry about the liver
Might as well, it'd be as useful đ
